Page 26 of Trusting His Heart

They both knew how short life could be, “I want to make this work,” she said as he hugged her in reply.

“QF437 to Sydney is now boarding at Gate 13.” Bec’s heart sunk. The one time a delayed flight would have been welcomed, was leaving five minutes early.

“Geoffrey,” she started, now with him leaving with so much to say and so little time.

“Bec,” she welcomed his kiss, why use unnecessary words.

Over his shoulder, she saw the boarding line lesson as each of the passengers eager to return to Sydney disappeared through the door. Still, she clung to him, not wanting this moment to end.

“Bec,” he said again, breaking away. “I don’t know how to say this, or even if I should.” Bec kissed him, she wanted to tell him how she felt since Friday night.

“Bec,” he cupped her face in his hands, those wonderful hands - soft and powerful – could drive her wild and then completely satisfy her. Her nipples hardened at the thought of him even though they were in an airport and saying “good bye.”

“Bec, I never thought I would ever say these words again, and I should have said them yesterday and give you time to hear them and know they are real.”

His body shook against her as the final boarding call was announced.

“Rebecca, I love you. I love you in my life, I love you.”
